I am my own Valentine

by: Alice Parker

I'm reading cues, decoding actions, time
Spent in pleasing you, and anguishing where
Knowledge served me not at all, when keenly
Knew the truth did I, you read my cues too.

I lost no time but changed my ways for us
How can you treat me the way I deserve
When all I have shown you is how I can serve?

I take my lessons from the rosebush now,
She shines brilliantly through sun and through sleet.
Though you ne'er adore me, queen that I am,
Like a rosebush I shower my own feet.
